Why are EV's VERY GOOD news for UK Businesses in 2020
In order to make sure that the show can further its reach on occasion we throw little business to business seminars and talks in selective locations around the UK to explain the benefit of renewable energy, EV’s and sustainability to key decision makers within the business world. The most recent one was in late November in Manchester at our Business to Business mixer.. This panel discussion was mainly about fleet services and how from April in the UK when the Benefit in Kind Tax (BIK) alters significantly in favour of EV’s in 2020. Unfortunately Robert was promised elsewhere and he send his apologies he couldn’t introduce this podcast himself. But no matter, UK radio listeners will know who I am about to introduce. Former Radio 1 presenter, Mark Goodier heals the discussion and is accompanied by a host of learned Fully Charged friends.
